It’s very easy to navigate, has enough internal resources to do what I want to do with it, and appears to have a very friendly, and experienced group of contributing members. Looking forward to wasting many an enjoyable hour on the vast amount of material from thousands of contributors who enjoy guitar from every aspect. ### 4/5 — Great idea for a app *2017-10-24, version 4.3* I wish the community was bigger it seems to have died down a bit since it was first released. It's great for sharing clips and ideas with other guitarist. The community is very knowledgeable about gear and music on here and the mods are very helpful and responsive. It has its slight flaws with the app on android but it runs great on iPhone for me. I definitely recommend joining this community though I hope more people find this app and all the people that used to use it should definitely get more active again! ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-08-02, version 4.2* This app is super easy to use and so far no bugs I love it ### 4/5 — YouTube meets Facebook for Guitarists! *2017-07-20, version 4.2* Six String is YouTube meets Facebook for Guitarists! ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2017-07-12, version 4.2* I love using this. I am a guitar teacher and I learn from other great players on here that I admit are better then me ### 5/5 — Very cool!! *2017-03-23, version 4.2* A community that revolves around guitar/music!! I love it!!! ### 5/5 — Sixstring *2017-03-19, version 4.2* Cool to be part of sixstringers. Good to have opinions and help from guys who know what they're talking about. ### 4/5 — Love this app *2017-01-02, version 4.0* On here a lot. Good people and good players. If you play guitar at any level , it's a place for you. ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-12-28, version 4.0* Wish more people used it. It's a good way for musicians to meet up and chat. A Facebook kind of feel. It specialized for music. Love it. ### 4/5 — Facebook for guitarists! *2016-12-25, version 4.0* This a very positive supportive community for guitarists of all skill levels. The latest update improves the appearance and makes publishing new posts more enjoyable. ### 5/5 — I dig it *2016-12-24, version 4.0* Great app for guitarists and musicians a like. Huge fan of people's input and playing styles! ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2016-11-06, version 3.0.8* All guitar all the time! 🎸👍 Simple and fun to use - and very supportive community! ### 5/5 — Great, supportive app--it is what you make it *2016-07-22, version 3.0.6* a rvw I read said "not for professionals".I disagree on many levels: As a pro we can offer encouragement, ideas and technical help to less experienced players. There are many great players on the sight if you seek after them (just dont fan who you dont enjoy). True, there are some neebies but babies are no less part of the (guitar)family as are geezer-seasoned-pros who can, if creative enuf, can use the site to support their biz as well. it offers opt to record and get feedback, mention concert dates, And just enjoy other encouraging music lovers! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — New to app; confirm by email doesn’t work *2020-09-03, version 6.0* I just loaded this app yesterday and the email confirmation to enable posting and commenting doesn’t work. There’s no online help or FAQs available, nor contact info. ### 1/5 — Great concept, Too buggy an no community *2017-04-25, version 4.2* This app had great potential but somehow updates have made it into an unusable app in the year 2017 Sincerely, your pal RyFry ### 1/5 — Horrible. *2017-01-18, version 4.0* Could have been a great app but a bunch of immature members made everyone leave and delete there accounts. Place is like a desert now filled with a few kids. I was on it for 2-3 years and met some cool people on it. We still talk about what a ridiculous place it is. Needed moderation as some adults do not know how to behave. ### 1/5 — SucksString *2016-09-20, version 3.0.6* I spent over three years on this app as an active user that submitted guitar related content. Myself and others were really having a pleasant time until the internet bullying. The app developers let the community run itself so it's been common for people to get bullied by some of the abrasive, regular users. There really isn't 26,000+ users, there are about 30 active users. I'm guessing that is downloads. It was an interesting app when the developers would update it more often. It died off fast with the people (possibly change to a paid subscription for a more reliable experience). I found the saddest aspect of it was not well moderated and regulars have treated new (and some old) users very poorly. No chatroom feature. No DM feature. The search feature is clunky and the archiving of quality information is a joke. A lot of crashing and too many bugs to mention. I'm giving it one star where it had the potential to be a solid five. ### 1/5 — Dead Garbage app no one uses *2016-06-10, version 3.0.6* they never fix anything with this app still just sits there never updates. basically broken. ### 1/5 — Crash *2013-02-25, version 2.1.1* This app continuously crashes, fix it! ### 2/5 — It's okay I think *2017-02-20, version 4.2* Pros: - Good way to reserve ideas - Good way to get feedback from other musicians - Good social aspect Cons: - Not a good way to share your work outside of the app (meaning, unless another person has the app or if you show the audio file in person, one cannot share their music with others) - Only can record 45 second intervals - Can't save audio files directly to phone after posted ### 2/5 — Great Concept, Poor Execution *2013-02-09, version 2.1* I believe this app has a world of potential. This is the kind if thing guitarists have been dreaming about, yet at the same time, probably never even though of. Guitar is indisputably the most played instrument these days, and there are a lot of opinions concerning ANYTHING guitar or musical. What better place to foster such vast knowledge, opinions, thoughts, ideas, etc. than a social network for them? However, I've had this app for a few hours and it has crashed at least twenty times. I've yet to actually accomplish much of anything as a member due to this. I understand this is a newer app and things need working out, so I'm not too upset; just anxious to see it at its full potential. ### 3/5 — It got boring. *2018-02-28, version 5.1* Nothing exciting. It was cool when I first discovered it a couple years ago. I find better networking with other musicians through Instagram. This app seems old fashioned and not “cutting edge” at all. ### 3/5 — Meh. *2016-10-07, version 3.0.7* Latest version is filled with bugs and crashes. Stay away, DON'T UPDATE! Oh, and all the drama created by some of the worst guitar players in the world just makes this the suckiest place alive. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The App Rocks *2024-01-27, version 10.1.4* The new app is outstanding. Great community with some excellent players! ### 5/5 — The bee's knees 4 sharing ur talent! *2023-04-27, version 7.4* Really is folks :) 2 thumbs up yo ~ UPDATE ~ I’ve had this app for years now. Gotta say that I use this app more than even Gtab now a days. Just feels more comfy in the app while flossin ur style. I adore it. Only a few peeps, I’ve found who stick around. But the peeps that do, honestly REALLY know there stuff. Seems more of a teaching platform than a reaching one. My own opinion of corse implied. Highly recommend Thanks for listening! ### 5/5 — The only social media app I use *2020-11-16, version 6.0* No politics here just guitar stuff. ### 5/5 — The good stuff *2019-07-10, version 6.0* Everything for beginners to pros. Great community as well, kindest meta heads, rockers, outlaws, and delta men you’ll ever meet ### 5/5 — Awesome App! *2018-11-03, version 5.2* This app is great! Guitar based social media, everyone is friendly and helpful! No trolls and negative comments like traditional social media! The only thing I would add would be to add a classified (buy/sell/trade) section. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2018-10-18, version 5.2* Awesome sight, great people & a really good sight for guitarists! ### 5/5 — Guitar community *2018-09-01, version 5.1* This is a cool app for getting to know other guitarists around the world. Post your musical inspiration, ideas or just what’s happening in your music world. Find out about gear, different styles of music, culture, or getting guitar tips and tricks. It’s definitely a fantastic way to connect with other guitarists. ### 5/5 — SixString *2018-03-03, version 5.1* This app is awesome . Great community of United , Guitar enthusiasts . ### 5/5 — Finally, we needed a app like this! *2018-01-25, version 5.0* I met some really awesome people on this thing and it’s great for seeing what others are into and playing! ### 5/5 — Awesome!!! *2017-09-27, version 4.2* I really like this app. I've made friends from all around the world on this app!. If you always talk about music to friends or family and they never understand what you mean this app is definitely for you. This app is suitable for anyone with any skill level!!. I wouldn't really recommend that younger kids download this app, because of adult language in posts. Great app for teenagers and adults🤘🏻 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
